Our journey back to London was spent in silence. I looked at Holmes from under half-closed lids and wondered. He had figured out the case long before our awful vigil the night before, yet told me nothing and put us both in more danger than necessary.
The case was solved, but the man opposite me was a far greater mystery.

...the man opposite me was a far greater mystery. Indeed! Holmes seems to reflexively play everything close to the vest, even when it would make more sense to give Watson a tidbit of information now and then. Especially in this case, where it seems irresponsible to the point of callousness not to do so. A mystery indeed!
